These events by Run for all are normally well organised and on the whole this was. However it didnt meet my same expectations as the Sheffield and Leeds half marathon i have done this year with them/ It turns out i am one of the many people who inadvertently went the wrong way, purely because we were following people in front. No marshals in one particular spot where you needed to go back through the park and then double back to the same spot. although the benefit of this is that i have PB which i was really pleased about until recently finding out i didn't run all the course. At Hull there was no free can of alcohol free beer or protein yoghurt as with Sheffield and Leeds. I purposefully didnt bring a protein recovery shake believing that i would be able to have a yoghurt. Last time i did a Run for all race in Hull was a 10k and it was in the city centre. Hopefully it will return there for next year because the atmosphere was so much better. I must say though it was nice at this years event village to have plenty of seating available.

Route different this year due to road works I believe. Was a very flat HM course with PB potential. Support a bit sparse in places. A lot was ran through housing estates. Biggest criticism is lack of marshalling at certain points, runners not knowing where to turn. Quite a few people inadvertently took a short cut and ran only 12.7ish miles. Thankfully it didn’t happen to me but I’d be very annoyed if it did.

This was the first half marathon I ever ran and I decided on Hull because it's flat! (Unlike Tenerife, where I live). The organisation was excellent and we knew exactly what to expect when we got here. Our race numbers were posted to us and that's a little risky due to Brexit et al, but they arrived the day before we flew. There's also back-up in case they don't arrive so again no worries. The marshalling was excellent. I've done races at home where spectators just wander across the road in front of you and at no point did I feel that was likely to happen. The course was brilliantly marked (again, at home I've had to ask spectators sometimes - especially when the field gets stretched) and the spectators were friendly and supportive. I would recommend this event, especially for first-timers. I hope to do it again.

A well organised event lovely local support and stewards, although it could benefit with the bus link stopping closer to the finish line. Makes it feel a little rushed so I would advise going at least 30 mins before you planned as when you arrive it is a bit of a mad rush getting to the bag drop and fighting to the start line but the bus link was second to non. Other than that amazing day thank you to the organisers and local support.

My first half marathon! Did the 10k last year so knew what to expect in the 1st half, good local support. 2nd Half was a bit dull, support was sparse although there were still people cheering us on! Felt the 1st water station didn’t need to be so early in the race (around 1.5 miles in) especially as the next one then wasn’t until 5 miles in and it was a really warm day, after that though the water stations were well positioned! Would probably do it again!

Second running of this race and it really is a Run for all. As ever with the runforall events, the organisation is spot on and has that big event feel to it. A large barriered start finish straight, closed roads and plenty of support out around the course (i thought it was the best it has been this year). My only criticism of the event is the route. For the majority it's fine, but it's very twisty and there are a number of dead turns which are time killers. Theres also a few sections on cobbled roads which againisnt great under the foot, especially on busy sections. Tshirt, great medal and a pint at the finish, along with a very generous goody bag with drink, snacks and samples. Overall, would recommend.

Nice local half course for me. Well organised and run by the Run For All team. First time running the half - we followed the 10k route then down towards the University and back. Crowds better on the first half of the run and then support was sparser but the cheering marshalls were amazing. I felt that the signage was confusing / a bit too sparse in the city centre upon returning and I had to ask each marshall where I needed to go. To be honest, I wouldn't run the half again but I'm already signed up for the 10k next year. but if you're local to Hull and want a flat race then it's worth doing.

Really well organised race and a great introduction to long distance racing for me. The course is flat and fast and will be good for a PB for lots of people, however, the hot weather this year may have stopped a few of them! Lots of water stations and great support from local Hull people, especially the couple sitting on their front drives spraying the runners with their hosepipe to cool them down! A nice T-Shirt, medal, goody bag and free pint of Erdinger lager waiting at the finish line was a treat! Will be booking again for next year!

It was my first time doing this event and compared to other half marathons I thought it was poorly signposted for directions and I actually had to ask random people on the street which way they’d seen other runners running. Through the city at the beginning the support from the crowd was great, but I thought there would be more spectators along the rest of the route. I would suggest that maybe through the city you should put barriers up for the route, as I had someone walk in front of me with a pushchair! I also really hate going back on myself route-wise so the end 2/3 kilometres were horrible going in circles around the same few roads...

Apart from all of this, I thought the volunteers did an amazing job and the start and finish line crew were great. The overall feel of the run was good, but for me personally I don’t think I’d do this again.
